Teens in the Driver Seat® relies on the voices of teens talking to other teens to help save lives. Here’s a few reasons why peer-to-peer is the best way to deliver safety messages:

  • You can help reduce the risk of injury and death among your friends when you speak up
  • You have a voice and your friends listen to you
  • Peer helpers have more credibility and a better understanding of teen concerns and pressures

These pages are full of great resources for you to download and use, and it’s all FREE! We do ask you complete a download request form for print and presentation items so we may better track and develop useful and informative items.
